Canvasback Custom Cargo-Area Protector
By Dan A. Nelson

You love dogs, otherwise you wouldn't have read this far, but you might not be so enamored of the odor of wet dog lingering in the vehicle you drive to and from the trailhead. One way to keep that peculiar smell where it belongs — on the dog — is with a Custom Cargo-Area Protector from Canvasback of Idaho.


Custom Cargo-Area Protector

Protectors come in a variety of shapes that exactly match the interior dimensions of every model of SUV on the market (sorry, sedan drivers!). They're sewn from a tough polyester fabric backed with a waterproof coating so the carpet of your SUV stays clean and fresh-smelling even after a dirty, wet Labrador snoozed on it during the drive home. Available in four colors.

Price: $100-$135, depending on vehicle model
For more information: Call Canvasback at (800) 686-2808 or visit www.canvasbackofidaho.com
